PSN did not get hacked. The servers were subjected to a Denial of Service attack in which a bunch of idiots spammed the servers with phony traffic making it impossible for real requests to get through. It did not involve breaking into anything so there was no hack.
Tablet Games, Chris' Advice To You College Folks, And Oh PSN...

Greetings good people of Pixlbitland! How was your weekend? For me the gaming stuff was really laid back. There wasn’t a lot of gaming especially on the consoles. I should take advantage of these lazy weekends because I have a crazy backlog that will be pushed back once Destiny rolls out (this is what happens when you reserve a game on a whim).
First off to you folks who are going back to school here’s some advice I learned
- GO TO CLASS
- Top Ramen is not a good dinner choice (I hate that stuff to this day)
- Visit your professors. Many times they will give you hints or full on answers to tests
- GO TO CLASS
- Actually study
- The Gym is free, USE IT! If anything there is always a pickup game
- Enjoy your time. It goes by quick
- Don’t go to class in your pajamas. Make an effort to actually be presentable
- Get involved with on campus clubs
- GO.TO.CLASS.
So I heard through my news source (Twitter) that PSN got hacked again, and sure enough when I went to check it was down. My first reaction was “I wonder which free games we will be offered”, and then what should have been my first reaction “What the hell Sony.”
I saw this article this morning while reading items from my news source
And it looks like these folks are targeting XBox.
As for actual gaming there really isn’t much going on…again. Since I have the Simpsons Marathon, I’ve been watching that, I took in the last Die Hard flick, and maybe spent too much time building up bases in some tablet games.
Simpsons Tapped Out – iPad Air/Android
I unlocked Wizard Marge, that I can’t use yet
I achieved the level where I can start buying walls for Lisa’s Castle which is the same size as Bart’s Castle across the mini river
Plundernauts – iPad Air
I am currently upgrading my workhorse of the fleet so I can take the final two planets in the last solar system. It has been upgrading since Saturday Night, and it should be ready in an hour. Currently I’ve been using an older ship on the easier worlds that have been re-attacked.
From what I read online, everyone is just waiting and saving up all the in game currency for when new ships, solar systems, and multiplayer is added.
Star Wars Commander – iPad Air
This is my base. I have no idea what I am doing but I have been building what I think is a solid base. I attacked one person’s base because it was part of the single player storyline, and I won so I think I’m doing ok.
I also joined a group. Actually it’s the second group I joined. The first kicked me out for some reason, so I joined this other one. I don’t know what we are supposed to do but apparently we just attack other people’s bases and they do the same. Either way it’s kind of fun to see what approaches people take.
As for the other handhelds, I played a couple of random games, mostly on the 3DS XL. It’s the stuff I downloaded from Club Nintendo, and some random match game I bought when it was on sale. Nothing too exciting. On the Vita, well it has been Treasures of Montezuma Blitz…and that’s pretty much it. I have a couple of Vita games I should try and finish but I’m just not in the mood.
As for consoles just NCAA Football with the San Antonio Raiders. I’m thinking I will leave them independent because I like having new teams to play every season. I will try and have a schedule where I never leave the state, which should be fun.
Alright Pixlbit, I am off so this is the end of my blog…also GO TO CLASS!
That’s all for now, more later!
-Chris
